Poly Wing Rusty Spinner Mayfly 6 Flies Hook Size 16
A classic low-profile spinner pattern designed to imitate the spent female mayflies that create heavy spinner falls on the water.
Highly versatile mayfly pattern because many mayfly species transition to a rusty-brown color after mating and falling to the water. This fly is considered a universally essential pattern to match hatches like PMDs, Sulphurs, and Blue-Winged Olives.
Effectively imitates the rusty-brown body and translucent wings of the mayfly, providing a natural appearance when fished in various conditions.

This Rusty Spinner matches the hatch perfectly during Sulphur hatches. The color and action are natural, and the 6 flies provide good variety for different water conditions. Easy to tie and works well on still waters.
Joseph Bell –
Used during a PMD hatch and saw good results. The fly floats naturally and imitates the spent female mayflies well. A reliable addition to my fly box.
Stephen Campbell –
The rust color is accurate and the wings are thin and translucent. I caught several trout using this pattern in a slow-moving stream. Highly recommended for mayfly season.
Virginia Fraser –
Works well in both dry and wet fly presentations. The hook size is just right for the water I fish. The 6 flies are a good value for the price.
